RECEPTACLES 120/240 Volt AC, 30 Amp, Receptacle 120 Volt AC, 20 Amp, Receptacles Locking Duplex Each receptacle (Figure 8) is protected against overload by a 20 Amp push-to-reset circuit breaker. Use a N EMA LI4-30 plug with this receptacle. Connect a 4-wire cord set rated for 250 Volt AC loads at 30 Amps (or greater) (Figure 7).You can use the same 4-wire cord if you _lan to run a 120Volt load.
DON'T OVERLOAD G EN ERATO R TH E The rated wattage of lights can be taken from wattage listed on the light bulbs.The rated wattage of tools, appliances and motors can usually be found on a data plate or decal affixed to the device. Use Figure 9 below as a general reference. Overloading a generator in excess of its rated wattage capacity can result in damage to the generator and/or connected electrical devices.
SPECIFICATIONS Generator Generator maintenance consists of keeping the unit clean and dry. Operate and store the unit in a clean dry environment where it will not be exposed to excessive dust, dirt, moisture or any corrosive vapors. Cooling air slots in the generator must not become clogged with snow, leaves or any other foreign material. Maximum SurgeWatts ................. 8,500 watts Continuous Wattage Capacity ........... 5,500 watts Power Factor .............................. 1.
STO RAG E _ The generator should be started at least once every seven days and allowed to run at least 30 minutes.
